My learning experience

I firstly would like to thank the company for affording me this opportunity to apply for this position. I basically see to the outbound operations of the dispatch division. I plan all our local deliveries for our entire fleet as per our customer requirements. This is a very highly pressured area of responsibility because of the demands of customers (JIT system). I have a very well balanced relationship with staff in my division as well as others within the company. It practice the tight/loose management style and finding the correct balance, is key. My logistics experience includes extensive practical knowledge of the transport and distribution to our customers (both internal and external) as well as the importance of stock accuracy. I strife under pressure and enjoy every aspect of my work.

Pros: excellent experience
Cons: Not appreciative

This company has provided an excellent stepping stone in my career

A typical manufacturing company that gad it's busy days and quiet days. Upon arrival, an inspection around machines to check all are operating normal. Review maintenance technicians hand over forms for any maintenance that needs attention or has been done. Check if all common spares are stocked. Then just monitor machines. All co worker's are helpful. I enjoy working on breakdowns and projects. The most challenging task is to meet up with deadlines and keep well within budget.

Pros: Gain a alot of experience from different area's
Cons: long hours are required at times.

Growing

A typical day starts with planning and discussing the days tasks. I have learnt to pursue a world class service on the service I provide in the company I work at. I have also sharpened my people skills as I am dealing with service providers or suppliers daily I enjoy solving problems to improve the engineering solution in the plant. I have developed a good relationship with coworkers and we function well in a trusting environment. The challenging aspect is a bit of race issue which quite subtle but it exist. Also the managing partly of people who don't recognize me as senior because I found them already working for the company

Pros: Poace to gain experience
Cons: Nite call out

Good learning environment

every day is a new challenge, there is always new and unusual problem to fault find, it teaches you how to think out of the box, and to define your skills. it also helps you to redefine your own weakness and helps you to overcome them by learning, watching and listening.at the end of every day you leave,you know you have learnt something new and gives you satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

Pros: great opportunity to further education and broaden skills
Cons: working long hours

Excellent Learning Curve

A typical work day would be starting with your daily meeting with production before starting projects. Look at shipping schedule and follow up on shipments. My relationship with my co-workers is professional. I have learnt not to trust everyone. I enjoy buying imports and tracking shipments. Most challenging is price negotiation.

Pros: Great opportunies for promotions
Cons: long working hours

Excellent learning curve

Well I work shifts.3 shifts:8hrs.On the weekends its 12hrs which is overtime.Have an awesome team which always motivates when you have a tough day.Its like my 2nd family.I have learnt alot of things which I never knew about in my apprenticeship years.Eg. hydraulic and pneumatic systems.Compressors.Suction fans.Supervised team of 8.Troubleshooting with plc systems.Mechanical breakdowns.What I like about this job the most was that felt I worked in the military lol . The challenges I faced as a plastican was insane.The biggest challenge was that management always look like the job was like a walk on the park.The were cutting cost so we had to deal with the same breakdowns over and over.Ididnt mind but it affect our efficiency and skill as a toolmaker.Toolmakers like sorting the problem out so that it doesn't happen again atleast for a year not every week.Parts especially quality is very important.I look at the long term.Thank you have the time to read my review.

Pros: Comany is busy growing
Cons: Less time for myself
